# Contributing
Thank you for your interest in contributing to [tldraw](https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw)! We welcome any contributions to the code base and the documentation.
## Create an Issue!
Before jumping into the code, please [create an issue](https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/issues/new/choose) to discuss your proposed changes. This will help us to make sure that your changes are aligned with the project goals and that you are not duplicating work that is already in progress.
If you are not sure whether your changes are needed, feel free to create an issue anyway and we can discuss it there. Once we have agreed on the changes, you can start working on them.
## Environment
- Ensure you have the latest version of Node and Yarn.
- Run `yarn` to install all needed dev dependencies.
